Welcome to this month's edition of Drumbeat, where we spotlight the people, ideas and breakthroughs shaping agriculture. As farmers navigate the growing challenges of climate change and crop production, their experiences offer important insights into the realities of farming and the solutions needed to build more resilient food systems. In our Video of the Month, farmers share firsthand accounts of how climate change is affecting their production, bringing their voices and experiences to the forefront.
Our Story of the Month takes us to Ghana, where agricultural science is helping farmers tackle one of cowpea's most destructive pests. In GM Cowpea: Ghana's Farmers' Success Against the Destructive Pod Borer, we explore how pod-borer-resistant cowpea is helping farmers reduce crop losses and insecticide use while improving their prospects for better harvests. The story highlights the importance of scientific research, stakeholder collaboration and farmer engagement in addressing persistent agricultural challenges.
